On Monday while I was at our local grocery store, I noticed a nice display of pumpkins. On my walk home, I decided to take the kids over there after school to pick out jack-o-lantern pumpkins. Exciting fun for all of us!
But as you can see above, I bought the most expensive pumpkin in the whole wide world. Want to know in dollars what I spent on this smallish pumpkin? $15. And let me tell you this. One of them in the display was already rotting. (Not this one.) A nice British lady told me to go to the fruit and vegetable market - "they won't be orange, they'll be pink, but you'll pay 100 baisa per kilo" (for those curious, there are 1000 baisa in one rial).
I am certain I can talk Lizzie into pink pumpkins.
Coming up in my next blog post: how much I pay for sweet potatoes. (Not really. But I do pay a lot for sweet potatoes.)
